In a pivotal UEFA Champions League Group E clash, Manchester City takes on Young Boys at the Etihad Stadium on November 7, 2023, at 8pm UK time. Manchester City is on the brink of securing progression to the last 16, having won all three of their group games, while Young Boys looks to keep their qualification hopes alive after a dominant domestic victory.

Analysis: Manchester City: Manchester City has been in formidable form in the Champions League, winning all three of their group games with identical 3-1 scorelines. They are on the verge of entering the knockout stage with two games to spare. The Citizens have been unbeaten in 16 top-level European matches since May 2022 and have a remarkable record of 27 consecutive Champions League games at the Etihad without suffering a defeat.

Despite an ankle injury concern for Erling Haaland, Manchester City’s attacking prowess remains strong, with Jeremy Doku making a significant impact with a goal and four assists in their recent 6-1 victory over Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Key Stat: Manchester City has won 22 consecutive competitive home games.

Young Boys: Young Boys faces an uphill battle in Group E, with just one point from their three Champions League games so far. Their only positive result was a 2-2 draw against Red Star Belgrade, but they suffered 3-1 defeats to Manchester City and RB Leipzig. Qualification remains a distant goal for Young Boys, and they must secure a victory to keep their hopes alive.

While history is not on their side, with no previous group-stage away wins in the Champions League, Young Boys will draw inspiration from their manager Raphael Wicky, who guided Basel to a 2-1 victory against Manchester City in 2018. Their recent domestic form includes a 4-1 win over Winterthur.

Key Stat: Young Boys has never won a European fixture in England.

AD:

Prediction: Given Manchester City’s dominant form, especially at home, and their strong position in the group, we predict that they will secure a comfortable victory in this match.

Goal.mu predicts: Manchester City 3-0 Young Boys
